HELP!!! GPS software causing reboot and/or freezing

Try a flash to the shipped ROM of your carrier then hard reset then try it then. And I think you can try ##786# to reset GPS too.

Tried that, no go. Had to flash to Alltel ROM to get GPS back. Mine is a Sprint phone and I use it on Verizon (PagePlusCellular actually).

Next time GPS breaks, will give ##786# a try.

dumb question, when I go to reset after entering ##786# , it asks for a password, any idea how I can get it?

thanks

ant.

Add another to the list! I've got an Alltel phone, and the GPS started crashing on MellowROM and the beta of DemolitionROM. Worked in IcedOWT, and works in the last stable release of Demolition. I'm thinking that it has to be a satellite (or network, could be A-GPS) that may be pushing some incorrect code on pings, and certain releases of WM 6.5 (or even certain radios) may have a bug in the code for handling GPS that's forcing some sort of memory error. Most of my "effing weird" experience may be with TV's, but I see things like this happen a LOT, so it wouldn't surprise me.

Do we have any inner workings gurus out there that may be able to test/log this theory? If not, we may have to wait for a more permanent hotfix to be good to go. I know my theory is just that, a theory, but weirder things have happened.
